He then adds his proofs of the occurrence of revolutions before theexistence of living beings. Like Lamarck, Cuvier was a Wernerian, and inspeaking of the older or primitive crystalline rocks which contain novestige of fossils, he accepted the view of the German theorist ingeology, that granites forming the axis of mountain chains were formedin a fluid.
The Aspalax of Olivier (Voyage en Egypte et en Perse, ii.pl. 28 f. 2), which lives under ground like the mole, and whichprobably exposes itself still less than that animal to the light ofday, has totally lost the power of sight; also it possesses onlyvestiges of the organ of which it is the seat; and yet thesevestiges are wholly concealed under the skin and other parts whichcover them, and do not permit the least access to the light.
Light does not penetrate everywhere; consequently animals whichhabitually live in situations where it does not penetrate lack theoccasion of exercising the organs of sight, if nature has providedthem with them. Moreover, the animals which make part of the plan oforganization in which eyes are necessarily present, haveoriginally had them. However, since we find them among those whichare deprived of the use of this organ, and which have only vestigesconcealed and covered over, it should be evident that theimpoverishment and even the disappearance of these organs are theresult of a constant lack of exercise.
These were truly perilous times for France; and, though they did notculminate in disaster until twenty years after, Louis Napoleon availedhimself of every opportunity to efface from the Second Republic, of whichhe was at this time the head,[Pg 182] every vestige of the democratic featureswhich it ought to have borne.
As part of the "Destins d'objets: la circulation des traces matérielles du passé de l'Antiquité à nos jours" program run by the École française d'Athènes and accredited by the Réseau des Écoles françaises à l'étranger, the EFEO is hosting the study days "Dispersions: partage de fouilles et commerce des vestiges en Asie, au Moyen-Orient et en Europe aux XIXe et XXe siècles".
We entertained our guests with coffee and lemonade, and, as well as wecould, with conversation. The Bey, who spoke only Turkish and Arabic,gave a flourishing account of the sugar-works, and despatched hispipe-bearer for a bundle of fresh canes and some specimens of raw andcandied sugars. He said he had an English foreman and several Englishworkmen, and that for the English as a nation he had the highestadmiration and regard; but that the Arabs "had no heads." To ourinquiries about the ruins, his replies were sufficiently discouraging. Of the large Temple every vestige had long since disappeared; while ofthe smaller one only a few columns and part of the walls were yetstanding. They lay out beyond the town and a long way from the river. There was very little to see. It was all "sagheer" (small);"mooshtaïb" (bad); not worth the trouble of the walk. As for"anteekahs," they were rarely found here, and when found were of slightvalue.
Some have supposed that these statues were originally coloured, andthat the colour may have been effaced by the ceaseless shifting andblowing of the sand. Yet the drift was probably at its highest whenBurckhardt discovered the place in 1813; and on the two heads that werestill above the surface, he seems to have observed no traces ofcolour. Neither can the keenest eye detect any vestige of that delicatefilm of stucco with which the Egyptians invariably prepared their surfacesfor painting. Perhaps the architects were for once content with thenatural colour of the sandstone, which is here very rich and varied. Ithappens also that the colossi come in a light-coloured vein of the rock,and so sit relieved against a darker background. Towards noon, when thelevel of the façade has just passed into shade and the sunlightstill strikes upon the statues, the effect is quite startling. The wholething, which is then best seen from the island, looks like a hugeonyx-cameo cut in high relief.
We laid the bones aside as we found them, examining every handful ofsand, in the hope of discovering something that might throw light upon theburial. But in vain. We found not a shred of clothing, not a bead, not acoin, not the smallest vestige of anything that might help one to judgewhether the interment had taken place a hundred years ago or a thousand.
It is at all events a fact that the only building whichwe can assume to have been a royal palace, and of whichany vestiges have come down to the present day, was erected by Rameses III, namely, this little pavilion at Medinet Habu.
Ils s'intéressent à la Pierre de Vakka, un grand morpholithe qui permet de stocker une grande quantité de magie. Ils redécouvrent aussi les vestiges du village de Murmure-Racine, où de nombreux habitants des tribus d'Aiguemortes et de Vive-Gorge se sont rendus pour reconstruire et habiter l'ancien village.[8]
